jQuery Mobile page blank when following direct link

I will use this link http://m.smo.uhi.ac.uk/en/colaiste/smo40/ to illustrate the problem.

If I go to this link directly, it displays a blank page. The browser gets the HTML correctly (view source), but jQM does not load it into the after it processes it - it just inserts an empty as a child (inspect element).

If I go to this link though the home page http://m.smo.uhi.ac.uk/en/ -> click The College -> click SMO@40 - the page displays correctly.

The validator returns no relevant errors, and the page seems to be valid jQM page comparing it to the information on jquerymobile.com/demos/1.2.0/docs/pages/page-anatomy.html I get no errors in the console.

I have tried different version of jQuery but it makes no difference. My guess is that is it something really simple, since I am new to jQM.

Can anyone spot why the page is not loading when linked directly?

If you watch carefully you will notice your direct link don't have opened BODY tag. If you add it your page will be shown successfully.

Also jQuery Mobile is using only a page content (its logic will disregard missing BODY tag) so this will not cause a problem when linked from internal jQM page.
